Turner’s lawyers filed the appeal yesterday, arguing that the trial was “a detailed and lengthy set of lies.” They’re hoping to overturn his mandatory lifetime requirement to register as a sex offender, which Judge Aaron Persky handed to Turner while sentencing him to just six months in jail. After serving a mere three months, Turner was released in September 2016.

According to the Bay Area’s KNTV-TV, Turner’s legal adviser said Turner did not commit a crime, which is why they are appealing.
